    Giant has some good deals on Ice Cream this week.

    Kemps/Greens/Friendlys on sale for $2.50, Talenti so-so deal $3.99, & their store brand was pretty cheap too.

    I picked up two Friendlys, another Talenti (bought some on Thursday too), & a few of their own brand.

    That's where I got my Talenti on Saturday night! Finally tried the Belgian Milk Chocolate. Since we were staying in a hotel room with no freezer, I "had" to eat the whole pint, which resulted in a PR on the leg press the following day! I saw this brand, Lovin' Scoopful, there. Have you tried it yet? I'm going to see if it's at the Giant by my office.

    I haven't tried that brand yet, but some of the flavors look good. I've noticed that Giant has started to carry their own versions of frozen yogurts & gelato. If their gelato tastes good I might buy some of it since it comes in larger containers than Talenti. I noticed in the organic section they carry the Three Twins ice cream & the Key Lime ice cream sandwiches that someone on here said was good.

    Oh, I'll have to look! I've had Safeway's gelato, and it was good.

    That chocolate/caramel one looks delicious, but I know better than to judge by looks now :(

    Today I had three Nestle Little Drums. Small evil things. Put me over my goal. Oh well... still under TDEE!

    Stopped in the city on the way home and made 2 stops:

    1. Amorino Gelato - It was awesome. I got a cup with 4 flavors. Sea salt caramel, Milk chocolate, Tahitian vanilla and Nutella. She got a cone with Coconut, Cookie butter and Milk chocolate. A bit expensive but I didn't mind. $16 for the 2 of us.

    Even this guy liked it...

    2. A grocery store to pick up some stuff. Got 3 different things. Gelato Fiasco Torched Marshmallow Smores Gelato, Phin & Phebes Banana Whama, Häagen Dazs Banana Split.

    The Gelato Fiasco Torched Marshmallow Smores - Disappointed. The graham cracker flavor was overwhelming in my opinion.

    This is relevant to my interests.

    I was so excited about that s'mores, and then you said it was a disappointment. I got coupons from Balducci's, so I'm going to try to get over there this week. I still want to get that stracciatella peanut butter one.
    You can't take my word on the Smores to seriously though. I for some reason was getting a strong cinnamon flavor and I hate cinnamon. Maybe I'm just confusing it with graham cracker but I did not like that. However, I have spoken to several people over in an ice cream thread I post in on bb.com and they loved Smores. So it's definitely worth a try.

    The PB Stracciatella you need to try. I've seen several other people besides myself say it was mind blowing and quite possibly the best ever.

    I was going to stop at Balducci's yesterday but I couldn't do that and stop in Manhattan. Would have gotten home way to late with the holiday traffic.

    That's weird I didn't get cinnamon from it-- just graham cracker. I did think the graham cracker base was a touch sweet but I generally really liked it.

    I do wish it had a stronger chocolate flavor.

    Tomorrow I'm going back to the grocery store that had the brand. I'm on the fence about the PB Stracciatella-- I didn't like the Ben & Jerry's one that everyone raved about at all.

    I agree that more chocolate would have changed things for me

    I'm one person that actually thought the B&J PB sucked. That should not even be allowed to be mentioned in the same paragraph as the Gelato Fiasco PB.

    :laugh: :laugh:

    Sorry, I recant. :wink:

    I haven"t had it yet. Peanut butter stuff is a toss up for me.

    I've never been the "roller" before!!!!

    Maybe you were and do not recall; red wine may cause memory loss. But I'm glad to see some reasonable people have this thread moving. Now, just need to buy some more Gelato. . . . . .

    I'm very happy to hear that. Although I had a hunch you wouldn't be disappointed.

    I knew I could trust you guys! I'm going to try to get to the store on Friday. Oh, I'm going to Scoopapalooza in Chambersburg, PA on Saturday!!! It's a fundraiser, and I'm pretty sure it's all you can eat. I'm wearing stretchy pants. :wink:

    Oh man. I had to Google it. Sounds awesome.

    I'll probably have to do a lot of running afterward, but it'll be worth it. :bigsmile: I'll take pictures.

    First off, I'd like to publicly thank ILiftHeavyAcrylics and Terrapin, without whose encouragement and support I may have never had the courage to experience for myself the true ambrosia of the gods, GELATO!!!!:heart::heart: :heart:

    A trio of my newly acquired Talenti (since I am a gelato virgin, I clearly could not choose which to eat first--I chose ALL):
